CLEANING HR SENSOR, CO2SENSOR OR MEASURING FAN

WITH A HIGH-PRESSURE SPAY GUN IS NOT ALLOWED

Remove the HR sensor and CO2 sensor from the room and store it

somewhere safe before cleaning the room. Also screw the protection cap

onto the plug of the extension cable to prevent water from penetrating into

the plug. When connecting the sensor via a fixed socket outlet (FSO), push

on the flap of the fixed socket outlet until you hear it click (lock).

INTRODUCTION

Modern poultry farming requires an optimum climate in the houses to achieve good operating results. As a rule,

this is achieved by using a mechanical ventilation system. Important in this respect is the air supply to the

animals and the creation of proper air circulation. The air distribution in the house is strongly influenced by the

type of air supply system. Effective ventilation controls, as are integrated in the PL-9000 poultry computer, can

achieve a good air quality at animal level with a low ventilation flow rate. It speaks for itself that good climate

control contributes to the animals' well-being.

The PL-9000 poultry computer enables you to fulfil virtually all your climate control wishes. The poultry

computer has practically all possible ventilation controls which are featured in modern poultry farming. The

poultry computer controls the climate in the house in such a way that the correction ratio between temperature

and ventilation is always guaranteed. To ensure that the climate in the house develops along with the growth of

your animals, the poultry computer has growth curves. By taking the influence of the weather into account, the

climate in the house can be corrected depending on the weather conditions.

In the event of a power failure, excessive temperature variation or excessive ventilation variation, the alarm will

be activated.

Since every situation is different, in daily practice only the control functions applicable to your specific situation

will be activated. This makes the operation of the poultry computer very easy and transparent.

VENTILATION GROUPS

The PL-9000 poultry computer has a maximum of 3 ventilation groups divided into:

1x main ventilation group

2x additional ventilation groups

Every ventilation group can be subdivided into a maximum of 2 ventilation controls. All ventilation controls in a

group make use of the same settings, i.e. settings per ventilation group, but have their own separate inputs and

outputs and are controlled individually.

Main ventilation group

The 1st ventilation control in this group is the main ventilation; this serves as the reference for house

temperature and pressure control compensation. The 2nd and 3rd ventilation controls in this group are only

switched on in support of the first control and they both have their own adjustable initial percentages. All

ventilation controls have an adjustable ventilation capacity (m3/h) which is combined to form the total

ventilation capacity of the main ventilation group.

HEATING CONTROLS

Maximum 2 independent ventilation controls can be installed.

Heating controls

On/off switching heating (relay)

Proportional: 0-10V (eventual in combination with a relay output)

COOLING

Maximum 1 independent cooling can be installed. If an RH sensor is used, the cooling can be switched off when

the relative humidity has become too high.

Cooling controls

On/off switching cooling (relay)

Time proportional control (relay)

Proportional (0-10V)

HUMIDIFICATION

Maximum 1 independent humidification control can be installed. Since cooling and humidification complement

each other, cooling can be connected to the same relay output as humidification.

TIMERS

Maximum 6 timers can be installed. A timer can be combined with a counter input to dose water, feed etc.,

using the timer. Maximum 3 timers, for dosage (feed/water) and/or for light control, can be installed. If the

timer is assigned to a 0-10V input, it can be used to create a light control (maximum 1 light control).

COUNTERS

Maximum 2 counters can be installed. The first 6 counter inputs may be combined with a timer for dosing.

I/O MODULES AND FN DEVICES

I/O module:You can use I/O modules to extend the number of outputs of the PL-9000 poultry computer, via

the ST bus (module bus). The control computer indicates which output must be driven by the PL-9000 poultry

computer.

The poultry computer has a memory chip where all settings are saved into, to ensure that the settings are

retained even when the voltage is lost.

Counter positions, burning hours, current day number in the curve etc. are not stored in the memory chip.

These values may be lost if the power supply to the poultry computer has been down for a couple of days. You

may then have to set the day number etc. again.

WINDOW

When the symbol is shown in the title bar and you press function key F3, the settings are displayed

graphically with the dot (●) showing the calculated value. Press F3 again to switch off the graphic display.

Whenever a key is pressed, the display will be lit for a couple of seconds so that you can also see the settings

and measurements in a dark animal house.

Scroll-window

If a window contains more lines than the screen can display, the title bar will show the symbol. This symbol

indicates that you can call up the remaining settings and/or measurements using the up and down cursor keys

( ).

KEYBOARD

Caution!

Only press the keys with the tip of

your finger. Sharp objects such as a

pen, pencil or screwdriver may

damage the keys!

The keyboard can be divided into four basic groups:

1. Numerical keys

2. Function keys

3. Navigation keys

The calculated setting may

differ from the value set by the

user, due to the growth curve

and/or compensations.

1 Numerical keys (0..9)

The numerical keys can be used to enter a screen

number, a value or text. You can select menu choice

10 by pressing key 0.

Entering text

Numerical keys 2..9 can be used to change the name of

a control group (left and right), a timer or a counter.

The maximum text length is 15 characters (including

spaces). The character you enter is shown in a little

box. Press the numerical key repeatedly until the

required character is shown. You can enter a

punctuation mark by repeatedly pressing numerical key

1 until the required punctuation mark is shown. You

can enter a space using the 0 key.

Press once for a, twice for b etc. You can move the cursor with the and keys.

Where relevant, e.g. for menu options etc., the text will automatically start with an initial capital.

Add/remove breakpoint or period

Press the [Enter] key (edit mode)

Press and hold the [F1] function key and then press the:

[+] key to add a breakpoint/period (provided that the maximum value for periods/breakpoints has not been

reached)

[-] key to remove a breakpoint/period (provided that there is at least one period/breakpoint)

The number of breakpoints/periods is adjusted automatically.

2 Function keys (graphic, alarm, previous / next control etc.)

Function key F1 (change language)

Changing language: Hold down F1 and press on the left or right cursor key.

Function key F2 (change house status)

Use this function key to call up the house status.

Function key F3 (graphic)

Use this function key to place a graph on a window. The “graph” function is active when the LED in the

function key lights. You can switch off the “graph” function by pressing the function key again (the LED

in the key is off then).

The values in a graph are linked to the window on the basis of which the graph was drawn up. The graph is

updated automatically when you change the details in the window.

If the details in the window are displayed in graph form, the symbol will be displayed in the top right corner

of the menu line.

Alarm key

Hot key for alarm screen. The LED in the alarm key lights if there is an alarm on one of the controls.

Here you can switch the main alarm on and off. When the main alarm is off, the LED in the alarm key will flash

to indicate that the main alarm is off. No alarm is generated anymore.

Test (alarm test)

Test “yes”: This enables you to test the operation of

the alarm relay (siren). If you enter "yes" in the line

Test, the alarm relay (siren) will be switched on for

10 seconds.

You can clear the alarm test time by setting "no" in

the line Test.

(alarm temporary off)

Off “yes”: This enables you to temporarily switch off

the alarm (siren). This does not apply to the hardware

alarms which cannot be switched off temporarily. The

main alarm is switched off for 30 minutes (the lamp

will blink irregularly). The main alarm is switched on

automatically again after 30 minutes. The alarm relay

will then de-energize again, causing an alarm, if the

cause of the alarm has not been removed.

You can clear the temporary alarm deactivation time

by setting "no" in the line .

If no access code has been installed or if you have already entered the correct access code, you can switch off

the main alarm.
